GRENOBLE, France, July 01, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teledyne e2v Semiconductors today announced new radiation test results for its EV10AS940, a 10-bit, 12.8 GSps, Ka-band-capable analog-to-digital converter, or ADC, developed for demanding space payloads and mission-critical applications. These results give space engineers additional confidence when designing high-performance satellite communications payloads, synthetic aperture radar, or SAR, systems, space electronic intelligence platforms and advanced space instrumentation, where data-conversion speed, radiation tolerance and in-orbit reliability are critical to mission success. As part of a comprehensive single event effects, or SEE, test campaign, multiple EV10AS940 samples were evaluated at leading radiation test facilities, including RADEF in Finland and the Texas A&M University Cyclotron Institute in the United States. The devices were exposed to heavy ions across a broad range of conditions, including linear energy transfer, or LET, values up to 94 MeV·cm²/mg. Across all tested configurations, no single event latch-up, or SEL, events were observed, including at maximum LET levels, elevated temperature and increased supply-voltage conditions. At the conclusion of the campaign, all tested devices remained fully operational, with no functional degradation observed. "These results give space system designers added confidence when selecting high-speed data converters for advanced payloads," said Victoria Nasserddine, Product Marketing Manager at Teledyne e2v Semiconductors. "The EV10AS940 combines ultrahigh-speed performance with demonstrated radiation robustness, supporting applications where mission assurance and signal-chain performance are both critical." The EV10AS940 supports high-bandwidth applications that require fast, reliable conversion in harsh environments, including satellite communications, radar, electronic intelligence and advanced space instrumentation. The latest SEE results build on Teledyne e2v’s long-standing expertise in high-reliability semiconductor technologies for space and defense markets. Total ionizing dose, or TID, characterization of the EV10AS940 has also been completed, confirming its robustness for long-term operation in radiation environments. Additional testing is ongoing, with complete reports expected by the end of 2026. ABOUT TELEDYNE e2v SEMICONDUCTORS Teledyne e2v...

Wrapping up Q1 earnings, we look at the numbers and key takeaways for the inspection instruments stocks, including Teledyne (NYSE:TDY) and its peers. Measurement and inspection instrument companies may enjoy more steady demand because products such as water meters are non-discretionary and mandated for replacement at predictable intervals. In the last decade, digitization and data collection have driven innovation in the space, leading to incremental sales. But like the broader industrials sector, measurement and inspection instrument companies are at the whim of economic cycles. Interest rates, for example, can greatly impact civil, commercial, and residential construction projects that drive demand. The 5 inspection instruments stocks we track reported a strong Q1. As a group, revenues missed analysts’ consensus estimates by 0.5% while next quarter’s revenue guidance was 2.5% above. While some inspection instruments stocks have fared somewhat better than others, they have collectively declined. On average, share prices are down 2.6% since the latest earnings results. Playing a role in mapping the ocean floor as we know it today, Teledyne (NYSE:TDY) offers digital imaging and instrumentation products for various industries. Teledyne reported revenues of $1.56 billion, up 7.6% year on year. This print exceeded analysts’ expectations by 3%. Overall, it was a very strong quarter for the company with an impressive beat of analysts’ adjusted operating income estimates and full-year EPS guidance slightly topping analysts’ expectations. “We started 2026 with record first quarter sales, non-GAAP earnings per share and operating margin with sales and non-GAAP earnings increasing 7.6% and 17.2%, respectively,” said Robert Mehrabian, Executive Chairman. Investor expectations, however, were likely higher than Wall Street’s published projections, leaving some wishing for even better results (analysts’ consensus estimates are those published by big banks and advisory firms, not the investors who make buy and sell decisions). The stock is down 5.6% since reporting and currently trades at $606.50. We think Teledyne is a good business, but is it a buy today? Read our full report here, it’s free.

Teledyne has had an impressive run over the past six months as its shares have beaten the S&P 500 by 8.4%. The stock now trades at $618.31, marking a 19.4% gain. This was partly thanks to its solid quarterly results, and the run-up might have investors contemplating their next move. Following the strength, is TDY a buy right now? Or is the market overestimating its value? Find out in our full research report, it’s free. Playing a role in mapping the ocean floor as we know it today, Teledyne (NYSE:TDY) offers digital imaging and instrumentation products for various industries. Reviewing a company’s long-term sales performance reveals insights into its quality. Even a bad business can shine for one or two quarters, but a top-tier one grows for years. Over the last five years, Teledyne grew its sales at an exceptional 14.9% compounded annual growth rate. Its growth surpassed the average industrials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers. If you’ve followed StockStory for a while, you know we emphasize free cash flow. Why, you ask? We believe that in the end, cash is king, and you can’t use accounting profits to pay the bills. As you can see below, Teledyne’s margin expanded by 9.6 percentage points over the last five years. This is encouraging, and we can see it became a less capital-intensive business because its free cash flow profitability rose more than its operating profitability. Teledyne’s free cash flow margin for the trailing 12 months was 16.9%. Growth gives us insight into a company’s long-term potential, but how capital-efficient was that growth? Enter ROIC, a metric showing how much operating profit a company generates relative to the money it has raised (debt and equity). Although Teledyne has shown solid fundamentals lately, it historically did a mediocre job investing in profitable growth initiatives. Its five-year average ROIC was 6.4%, somewhat low compared to the best industrials companies that consistently pump out 20%+. Teledyne’s positive characteristics outweigh the negatives, and with its shares topping the market in recent months, the stock trades at 25.3× forward P/E (or $618.31 per share).
